No power from water pump switch to water pump

We have a 2019 Georgetown 369xl and all at once water pump stopped working. Check pump it is ok, fuses ok, found switch is getting power but wire from switch to pump has no power. And the 2 12v lights above bed in slide out above pump bay are not working as well. Any ideas on where to track those wires?

If I read this correctly, power is available at the switch, but not passing through the switch? This would indicate the switch is defective.

Tried new switch still didn't work . Tested voltage on the white wire from switch to pump at the pump, no voltage.

Have you verified the continuity of the wire from the switch to the pump? Additionally, you should verify the ground wire at the pump is actually grounded.

But... as asked... have you verified voltage coming OUT of switch, at the switch?

You might give a 2-line tutorial on how to do that. I've seen people put downstream probes on something that wasn't grounded.

Question as written indicates a bad switch.

This part may indicate something else: And the 2 12v lights above bed in slide out above pump bay are not working as well.

My guess would be that the slide's movement has damaged the 12 volt wiring in that area and that this part ... but wire from switch to pump has no power. means the OP measured for power at the pump, not the other switch contact.

Lakehunt, can you clarify, please?

Update on water pump! Called local mobile RV man and he traced the wiring and found a connection/plug behind the bottom draw in half bath unplugged that apparently went to the water pump and the 12 v lights over the bed!
Now everything works!
Great repairman!

Many come here asking questions but never return to tell us the outcome.

Thanks and glad it wasn't too involved.
